A call to stop the killing follows Louisville's 100th homicide of the year.
There are still no suspects in the murder of Christopher Goldsmith, 32.
"You know, he had talked about a car circling the block, and the next thing you know, they hear gunshots and they shot at him," Goldsmith's mother Jacqueline Goldsmith said.
The deadly shooting happened Saturday around noon in the 700 block of Camp Street in the Shelby Park neighborhood.
Jacqueline Goldsmith says her son, who was expecting his first child, was sitting on the porch waiting on his girlfriend when he was shot multiple times.
"You know, he was a good son. He did everything and anything that I asked of him. He was polite to people, you know, so I don't understand why they would want to hurt him," Goldsmith said.
Louisville's 100th homicide drew a response from community activist Jerald Muhammad, who says pastors and community leaders need to come together to end the violence.
"This is the highest number that the City of Louisville has hit since, I believe, the mid 1970s, and we feel like enough is enough and we need to do something to take back our streets," Muhammad said.
Muhammad says one way to help end the violence is by making sure young people have access to jobs, and he says there are organizations that can help.
"So any young men and women 18 to 24 that need a job, we can find them employment, and even if they're felons, we can help find them employment," he said.
Muhammad says the number to call for people seeking employment help is 502-233-7544.
Heartbroken at the loss of her son, Goldsmith says the killing needs to stop.
"Because once you take somebody's life, they're not coming back. I mean, if you have so much of a problem with somebody, stand up and fight with your hands like we used to back in the days. At least you lived to see another day," she said.
